The Electronic Repository of Russian Historical Statistics
The Electronic Repository of Russian Historical Statistics is a project by Gijs Kessler. For this project the IISH cooperates closely together with the New Economic School in Moscow: https://ristat.org/about/participating-institutions. It is a data-hub that provides a number of basic indicators for social and economic developments (population, land, labour, capital, production) at five cross-sections (1795, 1858, 1897, 1959, 2002). It makes international comparative research on a provincial level possible. The collection of data was financed by the Russian Dynasty Foundation. The distribution platform was built by the IISH. Olav Hofland, Gijs Kessler’s assistant, will edit the data and make it available for online distribution. Part of his costs were paid by the Friends. € 3.000,-
